The son-in-law is a thief

On the way back to the Princess Mansion, Gu Ruyang kept his face sullen. Gu Haixing, who hadn’t received the order to speak, was also as quiet as a chicken. The master and the servant left after reaching the Princess Mansion. Gu Ruyang left the mansion alone. She couldn't help looking at the courtyard where she parked, Zhaoyang's chariot was not there, it seemed that she would come back first, and she didn't know if Zhaoyang and Li Tuo would have another dinner together.

Gu Ruyang has been lost for most of the day. She is still struggling with the fact that she only regards Zhaoyang as her best friend, but the other party fails to feel her sincerity. Thinking of her, Gu Ruyang travels all over the world, and flags of righteousness travel all over the world. He has never been so sincere to anyone as Zhaoyang.

"The princess returns home!"

Following the report from the servant outside the mansion, several servants in charge of chariots in the princess mansion also ran towards the door. Gu Ruyang suddenly wanted to go there too, she wanted to take Zhaoyang back to the mansion together, but Zhaoyang did not Knowing her intentions, she was still willing to express her sincerity, but Gu Ruyang turned around, but still stopped moving forward. She saw that Zhaoyang was still wearing the crabapple she had picked off in the morning, which was the same as that of Zhaoyang. Compared with early morning, this crabapple was in full bloom again, making Zhaoyang even more beautiful. Gu Ruyang was about to step forward, but Li Tuo also appeared at the gate of the princess mansion. This handsome young man was respectfully sending Zhaoyang away. Yang enters the gate of the mansion.

"Huh..." Gu Ruyang let out a sigh of relief, she knew that Zhaoyang was a princess and it was an unchangeable fact, if it was Zhaoyang's intention to discuss business with her, then she would have nothing to say.

Gu Ruyang went straight to Du Yong's wing, and Du Yong would follow him when he saw Emperor Guangxiao tomorrow. According to Du Yong, he would wander among the ministers and try his best to establish a chamber of commerce in Niangui City for Wanshigang In addition to this, Gu Ruyang brought ten huge lucky boats this time. These boats moved people from Wanshi Port to around half of Taiping Island to Niangui City, not just to show their strength, I have to admit It's not just a simple back door.

But when I entered Du Yong's room, I saw Du Yong was holding a letter paper in his hand. The handwriting looked like He Sansi's handwriting. The two old men had always disagreed. Du Yong looked relaxed when he accepted Bao Sansi's letter today. A little bit, which surprised Gu Ruyang a little.

"Looking at Master Du's expression, it looks like something good is going on?" Gu Ruyang asked.

Du Yong shook his head: "A good thing or a bad thing, which one should the master listen to first?"

Gu Ruyang felt that her mood was already bad enough, and she didn't mind getting worse, so she said, "What's the bad thing?

"Zheng Qi recently arranged for someone to check our boat, and it seems that they found something. He wanted to board the boat all day looking for reasons." Du Yong said.

Gu Ruyang raised his eyebrows with a look of disdain: "If he has the guts to get on the boat, let him get off without the guts."

"Subordinates must pay attention." Du Yong said.

"That's all? What's the good news?"

"The assassin has already been recruited last time. He Sansi sorted out the confession, and finally he has a clue." Du Yong expressed emotion, and he suggested: "This matter must be shared with your princess. yes."

Gu Ruyang raised his eyebrows, thinking what is my princess.

"I'm afraid it's someone else's princess." Gu Ruyang said, she felt that her words were a little sour.

"Once you marry, it's yours." Du Yong was joking, but he walked out the door. Sure enough, he was going to the meeting hall to find Zhaoyang.

However, after three or four hours, there was a hint of embarrassment between Zhaoyang and Gu Ruyang. Zhaoyang sat in the main seat and pretended to be calm. She leaned forward slightly in the direction of Du Yong, as if preparing to Listening to the results brought from Wanshi Port, Gu Ruyang on the side lowered her head and fiddled with the teacup, but she was a little more impatient than the princess, who was in charge. Hold this thought, but can't control it.

"Mr. Du, what did the letter say?" Zhaoyang asked, she was indeed more eager to know the truth behind the scenes than Gu Ruyang.

Du Yong handed the letter to Zhaoyang, and he said: "Xin San mainly said three points. First, they talked about their deployment in Wanshigang. Apart from the last market, they still have a stronghold in Fei County. Later this The stronghold was naturally destroyed by Zeng Shi. The second is that they mentioned the two blessing boats from Niangui City, which were also the point where they boarded and destroyed them. They wanted to exacerbate the conflict between Wanshigang and Niangui City, and provoke the head of the family and His Royal Highness. Relationship."

Zhaoyang was a little puzzled, she asked: "There are no less than 300 people in the two lucky boats, how can this mere dozens of secret operations kill so many people?"

Du Yong explained: "Those secret workers were originally on the ship. Before they did it, they tampered with the food, so they easily killed the people on the ship."

"It's really cruel." Gu Ruyang said: "Compared to us, they are more powerful. After all, we pirates don't kill our own people."

Zhaoyang can be sure that the people on the two ships are from Qin Li'an. During the last interrogation, Xi Zuo also claimed that he was from the East Palace. If this Xi Zuo did not lie, then Gu Ruyang was right. The means are indeed more vicious than the pirates.

"Is that Xiao Zuo really from the East Palace?" Zhaoyang still confirmed, she knew that Qin Li'an had always been vicious, but it was not like him to poison and kill his own subordinates.

Du Yong nodded and said: "It's the people from the East Palace, this is the third thing I want to talk about."

"But it has something to do with that staff member named Chu?" Zhaoyang asked, she had already had doubts about that Chu Sheng.

Du Yong smiled, Zhaoyang really shouldn't be underestimated, the other party knew it was about Chu Sheng before he even opened his mouth, and Zhaoyang's subordinates were also very skillful in their meticulous work.

"The princess is right. The East Palace here does not refer to the prince, but Chu Han, the staff member of the East Palace."

"Chu Han" Zhaoyang also heard this name for the first time. She didn't expect that many names that she planned and didn't find out would be spit out from the mouth of a captured spy, which was very surprising.

"Is there any other news about Chu Han?" Zhaoyang asked.

"It is said that this Mr. Chu is only forty years old. He was recommended by Admiral Zheng Qi of the Navy to Prince Li'an. He usually lives in seclusion and basically does not deal with other staff members, but he has won the trust of the prince. As for more news It's gone, after all, it's just a small detail, and no more information has been asked."

"Zheng Qi?" Gu Ruyang wondered why it was this guy again.

"It was this man, the admiral of the Great Zhou Navy. His father was Zheng Hong, who was the one who escorted His Majesty to the south. Unfortunately, he died before he got ashore," Du Yong said.

"Zheng Hong has heard that he controlled Minhai a few years ago, and Chen Qingchuan has never let Chen Qingchuan get the sweetness." Gu Ruyang said, the Gu family's business is mainly in Nanyang, and there is a chamber of commerce in Beilu, but they all It's a small business.

"Since we can't get any news about Chu Han, can the princess start with Zheng Qi?" Du Yongmi asked with concern.

Master Du's words were full of traps, Zhaoyang unconsciously looked at Gu Ruyang, who knew that Gu Ruyang was also looking at her, their eyes met, and the two quickly looked away.

"General Huo has a green bee group under his tent, he will arrange for investigation, and Mr. Du doesn't need to bother." Zhaoyang said.

Du Yong also took advantage of the situation, and he said with a smile: "General Huo's people are familiar with walking around in Niangui City. It may be more convenient for me to send people around in Wanshigang."

Zhaoyang had expected that Du Yong would not give up so easily, and it seemed that he was determined to return to the City Construction Chamber of Commerce.Not to mention the court, for the sake of Da Zhou, it was something she would not allow, Zhaoyang looked a little embarrassed for a moment, she even wanted to refuse directly, but when she was preparing to respond, she heard Gu Ruyang say something.

"I'm hungry and I want to eat." Gu Ruyang's words were obviously meant for Du Yong: "I'll discuss anything tomorrow."

"The head of the family, why don't you allow Her Royal Highness and I to establish the chamber of commerce..."

"Uncle Du, we'll discuss it later." Gu Ruyang said firmly.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also the day when Gu Ruyang and Zhaoyang will return to the Changsheng Palace to face the Holy Spirit. The two will live in the palace for three days, so the renegotiation that Gu Ruyang mentioned will be three days later, but at that time A group of people are also preparing to return to Wanshi Port.How could Du Yong not be able to tell that Gu Ruyang was trying to rescue Zhaoyang, so he had no choice but to take back the rest of his words. In fact, he had already put his eyeliner on Nianguicheng'an for the past few days, and he was even more ready to talk to the palace tomorrow. Some of the ministers he knew made connections, and since Gu Ruyang wanted to protect Zhaoyang, he had no choice but to find another way, but without Zhaoyang's help, maybe the chamber of commerce would not be so easy.

"Decree." Although he was unwilling, Gu Ruyang was the head of the family after all, and Du Yong could only compromise.

"Okay, let's go." Gu Ruyang got up and walked out in frustration. What happened one after another today, Zhaoyang sincerely rejected her, Li Tuo who came out of nowhere, and Du Yong The collision with the interests of Wanshigang and Nianguicheng represented by Zhaoyang did not make her happy at all.

For the first time, Gu Ruyang felt that she didn't want to care about anything. She walked straight to the outside of the meeting hall, saying that she was hungry, but in fact she didn't have an appetite for a long time.

"Consort."

"Home."

Zhaoyang and Du Yong stopped her at the same time.

Gu Ruyang turned her head, she hoped that Zhaoyang was Zhaoyang at this time, and Du Yong was Du Yong, so there should not be too much confusion.

"What's the matter?" Gu Ruyang asked.

"Book." Du Yong said, he did not know where to take out three or five scrolls: "Since the face is holy tomorrow, I will read it tonight."

"Oh." Gu Ruyang took the silk scroll from Du Yong's hand, it was the first time she saw that these things were so kind.

Gu Ruyang looked up at Zhaoyang again: "What's the matter with the princess?"

"My son-in-law, let's have dinner together."

Zhaoyang also looked at Gu Ruyang, compared to the morning, her anger has subsided a lot, and all of this is just her self-indulgence and what does it have to do with Gu Ruyang, just like the crabapple on her head, since it is just Why let the other party know when you fall in love with yourself.

"I..." Gu Ruyang didn't want to refuse, but she thought of Du Yong's warning that she and Zhaoyang, and Zhaoyang and her were just a relationship of interest.

Zhaoyang stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Gu Ruyang: "Master Gu, let's go."

Grasping that hand, the sun-like warmth came from Zhaoyang. Gu Ruyang looked at the slender and soft palm, then looked up along the cuff of the exquisite dress, and finally his eyes fell on Zhaoyang's. face.

Gu Ruyang smiled slightly: "Okay, let's eat."
